Question
If medical tests confirm beyond doubt that a widow is not pregnant, will it be permissible for her to end her Iddat before four months and ten days?
Answer
It will never be permissible for a woman to forego her iddat regardless of the conclusions of medical examination. Even if it is confirmed that she is not pregnant, she has to observe the mandatory Iddat period.
